Raise your voice

Hearts have turned to lead

As tears are left unshed

For morality is dead

And humanity has fled

 

Shattered

Battered

Hopes are dead

No sign, even, of daily bread

 

Standing for rations in a queue

Daily facing terrors new

World has turned a blind eye again

There’s only an endless stream of pain

 

It’s all for just a piece of land

On which the oppressor has taken a stand

Of wiping out the whole brave race

 Leaving of them, not a trace

 

The peacekeeping forces have no say

Consciences die, day by day

Atrocities rise – as a nation dies

The predator ready to claim it’s prize

There is now no hope at all

Since all are lined up against the wall

Tortured, maimed, yet they do not fret

Bravely facing a martyr’s death

 

At what cost is victory sought

When nations prove they can be bought?

Gone are the days when humanity reigned

For morality, in the world, has surely waned

 

Let the world wake up from its slumber

And take action in a greater number

If you are for them, shed a tear

Raise your voice without any fear
